H+ Episode 3

In episode 3 of the H+ Podcast, Paul, Paul, and Colin talk about the recent news of CRISPR edited children. They discuss the ethical, moral, cultural, and geopolitical issues that gene editing could spark, as well as a forecast in the future of directed human evolution. The H+ Podcast is published under the Human Paradox brand of Project Phaethon. The purpose of Human Paradox is to stimulate discussion about the greatest human problem of progress, and evaluate the impact of technology displacing human function. Does the dignity of human life stem from physiological function? How will human life be valued if there’s no longer progress to be made, or purpose to fulfill? Understanding these questions will hopefully lead to further understanding about human nature and purpose.
